For Sale As Is
I don't even Know what to say. I can't believe I am selling this car. I bought it last May from Texas Classic Cars of Dallas. They are a very reputable dealer of classic cars. I am enduring the worst financial hardship of my life right now and am forced to sell it. The car is in wonderful condition. I only put about 500 miles on the car in the time I have owned it and was complimented almost every time I took her out. This car has a beautiful paint job and very, very nice lines. The convertible top is practically brand new and the black leather interior looks new as well. The carpet is top notch as well as the rest of the interior. It looks to have been restored within the last 3yrs I believe. The odometer reads 64902 and spins as it should. The wear on the brake and gas pedals seem to match the mileage but I cannot guarantee that the mileage is original as usual. The lettering and symbols appear to be in like new condition except the bird on the gas tank door. It shows some wear. The engine compartment is very clean and has many upgrades from original factory parts. The carburetor is an edelbrock and there are headers and aftermarket radiator hose and thermostat. The car starts up great and runs beautifully. I know the front floor pans were replaced. It rides on 14 inch factory wheels and looks great like that. The tires are in excellent shape and look to be quite new. I have many factory parts that were replace by aftermarket upgrades that I am including with the car. A very vintage car at a low start price with a low reserve. If you want a gorgeous classic car to cruise for the summer, now is your chance. The radio is some 1980s p.o.c. cassette player that doesn't work but at least the owner that put it in did not cut up the dash to install it so you can still put in the factory original parts if you get them. I had big plans for this car to be with me for a long time but my current financial outlook causes me to sell. If you have any questions please ask

The only mechanical issue I have had with this car is very minor. It starts and runs great but I think the solenoid in the starter is either going bad or the magnets in the starter get hot and lock up. When the car runs for a while and gets hot, the starter doesn't want to fire so I get a blank start. No noise or attempt to turn the engine over. It doesn't happen except for when it has already been running for a bit. The first key turn starts her right up and she idles and purrs perfectly. It only happen when it has been running for a while so my mechanical mind tells me that the solenoid in the starter needs replaced but I haven't owned the car long enough since the discovery of the problem to get it remedied. Just being completely honest. It is a very minor problem and can be fixed for less than $500 I would guess. If you know what you are doing you can probably fix it for less than $100. Other than that, it is darn near perfect. I don't know if the numbers match or not. I haven't gone through those hoops but was planning on it. The motor looks to be original but I really don't know a lot about the whole numbers matching check process to enlighten you all on that... Gorgeous car, runs great, sounds great, looks great! Just that one minor issue...

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
